The 100 Most Pointless Things In The World is out today (other book retailers are available). I had a quick swipe through it this morning, it’s basically a comedy book with some quiz elements to break it up a bit.
In other news, I will be able to write the feature on Avanti un Altro I’ve been dying to write for ages at the weekend.
little news from Italy:
from December 17th, Affari Tuoi takes a break, to be replaced by “Still Standing”. The host was not mentioned but it should be Enrico Papi or Amadeus
RAI1 has also picked up “Superbrain” a Saturday night show where 7 contestants will test their skills on primetime television. This show will compete with Gerry Scotti’s “The Winner Is” on Canale5
RAI2 announced a prime time run of “A Minute To Win” hosted by radio (and recently, TV) personality Nicola Savino
Bonolis is catching up!
L’Eredità 22.40%
Avanti Un Altro! 19.57%
Mmm, I noticed Marco Salvati mentioning that on Twitter this morning.
Actually Cele, whilst you’re here, I gather Marco Salvati is the head judge and question writer, who are the other two people Bonolis introduces at the top of the show?
MINI SPOILER: I was watching tonight’s episode, and something VERY funny happened. I mean, funnier than usual. it’s not gameplay related.
on your question, the woman is introduced as “engineer Carla” but her job one the show is never specified.
the older gentleman is the veteran writer Stefano Jurgens.
he’s famous for having been a judge on Tira&Molla (another popular Bonolis show) and for inventing the 80s hit Il Pranzo E’ Servito
I watched it as well. I couldn’t stop laughing as it was quite amusing. Especially the so called repair job afterwards. That said I do have a crap sense of humour.
Couple of days ago the alien came out, read out the four answers with the contestant answering Simon & Garfunkel. This caused Paolo and the alien to lose the plot with Paolo dragging the alien across the studio floor. Can you remember what the question was?
